I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very well executed

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Released in 2000, "2001: A Space Travesty" spoofs space shows/movies and anything else it feels like making fun of, like politicians and musicians (e.g. "Bill Clinton" is one of the characters). Leslie Nielsen stars as a Frank Drebin-like character and the movie shoots for the goofy humor of The Naked Gun trilogy, but fails. With the wealth of material at its disposal, I don't know how this movie could've gone so wrong, but it's rarely funny and often downright bad; and this is coming from someone who enjoys goofy humor a la The Naked Gun. It doesn't help that the 2-3 most prominent women aren't sexy; to me, at least. Worse, the sex-oriented jokes are more gross and vulgar than funny. Thankfully, the third act is better than the first two, but that can't save it.The film is overlong at 99 minutes.GRADE: D+

This is another spoof movie starring Leslie Nielsen, and I first heard of it a while ago, and knew it was obviously a sci-fi spoof. The title is derived from Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking 1968 film, "2001: A Space Odyssey", though this film is certainly not entirely a parody of that one. I've seen that particular Kubrick movie several times, but was not as impressed with it during my last viewing, in January 2008. Still, the title of this 2000 comedy, "2001: A Space Travesty", was what brought it to my attention, since I obviously know where this title came from. I could see that this was not one of Nielsen's popular spoofs, but after a while, and only about 24 hours after first watching "Airplane!", an earlier parody film with Nielsen (and a MUCH better one) this week, I watched this despised sci-fi comedy. While I didn't find it to be QUITE as bad as many others have (maybe most other people who have seen in at some point in the past decade think it's worse than I do), I still thought it was a lousy attempt at comedy, so I can't defend it.Marshall "Dick" Dix is a clumsy detective who is informed that the President of the United States (a nameless character, but obviously based on Bill Clinton) is being held captive on a moon base called Vegan and has been replaced by a clone! The detective is sent out of Earth's atmosphere to this moon base, on a mission to rescue the real president and find out who's responsible for the crime. He is accompanied on this mission by an officer named Cassandra Menage. Together, the two of them make it to Vegan, where they see that there are many beings around, both human and alien. Dix and Menage begin their inspection, which will obviously not be helped by Dix's clumsiness. After defeating the evil Dr. Griffin Pratt and his hoodlums in a fight, thanks largely to Menage's martial arts skills, the two inspectors escape from the moon and take the president with them. Back on Earth, Dix puts who he thinks is the real president back in the White House, but it turns out he has just replaced the real president with the clone! Even though the detective has messed up, it's still up to him to save his home planet, so the mission which started with a trip to the moon now continues on Earth! "2001: A Space Odyssey" is obviously too slow paced for some viewers, and it did seem too slow to me the last time I watched it, but with only one viewing of "2001: A Space TRAVESTY", it seemed to me that it had the opposite problem, it was too fast! The direction seems so rushed and unfocused, and so does Leslie Nielsen's narration. Unfortunately, the problems certainly don't end here. The movie is full of very juvenile and unfunny humour, and since it's a comedy, that's its main problem. This already shows during the opening sequence and is featured in many other scenes, including the penis jokes about the main protagonist's name, Dix trying to use a spaceship toilet on the way to the moon just as the artificial gravity is turned off, a human on the moon coming out of the bathroom covered in alien waste, condoms which are found later in the film, etc. There are so many gags here which obviously took no comedic talent whatsoever to come up with! Not only does the toilet humour fail, so does the slapstick, with such occurrences as Dix accidentally making a huge mess during his inspection on Vegan. The gags generally seem like they were just thrown in with very little or no thought put into them. In addition to that, the film also seemed too noisy to me.Unfortunately, with all this movie's flaws, it's most certainly a misfire. Leslie Nielsen's character here is like Lieutenant Frank Drebin, his character in the "Naked Gun" series (they're both clumsy detectives), but if you're a fan of any or all of those movies, that certainly doesn't mean you're guaranteed to like this later spoof. I remember one time when I was in high school, a student was banned from my school bus route after playing with a dildo during the ride home and giving the bus driver attitude when he told him to get off the bus. "2001: A Space Travesty" seems like it was written by hyperactive high school students like that guy! I'll admit, I did smile at times while watching this film, but this was VERY rare, and I never actually laughed. Not only did it not make me laugh, I may have had a slight headache while watching it, which the film didn't help. Yes, my rating for this sci-fi spoof is 4/10, which is higher than what seems to be the most popular rating for it, but I still don't like it. I even feel like 4/10 just might be too generous, and know that many people would believe that saying this rating is too generous is an understatement! If you've never watched this unpopular 2000 comedy, I strongly suggest you don't, whether you like Nielsen's comedy roles in general or not.

Having watched this cheesy piece of pure nonsense made me want to comment on it: The best way to enjoy this movie is to remove your brain. If you don't do so, you'll either wish you'd have done it before or switch the film off after 15 minutes. The best one can expect from this movie are old, washed-out puns from the "Naked Gun" - everything else is just plain silly humour, tasteless "fart-jokes" and cheap boob-thrills. I wonder what makes any director or actor want to take part in something like this - what is the target-group for this kind of cinema? The homages to any science-fiction movie are so subtle, that no one would mention them or they are so embarrassing stupid, that you wouldn't mention them without being ashamed of remembering: Sad, sad 87 minutes for every Leslie Nielsen enthusiast. If I could, I would rate this movie with 0 stars, but unfortunately - as I found out - I have to give it at least one.

Note that I've called this review "'Airplane' in space - part 2!" is because there has already been an "Airplane!" movie that had taken place in space! (Hey, cool rhyme!) "Airplane 2! The Sequel" was the name.Anyways, I've called it that because Leslie Nielsen is in this movie. I remember him from the "Airplane" movies, and I best know him from all three "Naked Gun" movies - "The Naked Gun: From The Files Of 'Police Squad!'," "The Naked Gun 2 and a half," and "The Naked Gun 33 and a third," all of which are reminiscent to the "Airplane" movies because something funny happens every 10 seconds or so.I guess this must be Mr. Nielsen's trademark or something, because "2001: A Space Travesty" is just as funny as all the other movies mentioned!
